Mary Kate (MK) Valentino has been named executive producer at Sonic Union. Valentino joined Sonic Union just over five years ago and enjoyed a successful tenure as Sonic Union’s sr. producer and client partnerships director before being named EP. 

“Mary Kate has actually been our title-less EP for many years, because we distribute that role amongst many. Here’s a person that genuinely loves connecting people. Not just producers and mixers to creatives and clients, but friends to friends so naturally. Here is a person that doesn’t hold a grudge if you’re not working with her team, she probably just genuinely misses you,” said Adam Barone, managing director/co-founder, Sonic Union. “Now our ’titled” EP, MK loves to explore unique and challenging projects--the more unconventional, the better. Pulling various talents together using her decade-long audio specific experience with a can-do attitude, chill attitude that’s easy to be around.” 

Valentino said, ”It’s been an exciting 5+ years at Sonic Union, since the company not only allows for but encourages space and freedom to explore new areas of creative sound production. I’ve been particularly focused on expanding my wealth of knowledge for non traditional, installation and activation advertisements.”

Valentino has always been interested in advertising as a form of entertainment and content since her short attention span developed at a young age. She worked as a crisis counselor for three years which she values for the experience and skills attained for her current professional project management and navigation of personal relationships. She brought that nurturing energy and problem solving skills to her first job in sound production in 2013 where she found her niche and love for the creative opportunities audio lends to a production. She came aboard Sonic Union in 2018.
